Tom and Jerry: Spotlight Collection, Vol. 1-3 (1946) ReviewJust to clarify, so that anyone considering this three-volume collection will have ALL of the relevant info in making their purchase decision: Reviewer K. Echols "kyle" is correct in stating that the included cartoons are unedited (...well, except for a few minor points and some aspect ratio issues); but what he fails to mention (and is perhaps just unaware of) is that the Tom and Jerry Hanna Barbera Spotlight Collection IS in fact censored in the sense that two of the T&J HB cartoons, "Mouse Cleaning" and "Casanova Cat," are omitted from the collection altogether. Warner Brothers issued a statement about why they chose to omit those two cartoons; that statement is posted in the reviews for Volume 3 if you'd like to read it.
Also, WB did initially ship Volumes 1 and 2 with some edited cartoons--not EVERY controversial cartoon on those two volumes was in edited version, but SOME of them. (Using the edited versions was however a mistake, not WB's intention, in those first two volumes.) To correct the problem, WB established an 800 # and gave away free replacement discs. I don't know whether the versions of those two volumes that you'd get if you bought today would have the edited or the corrected discs (although I would like to assume the latter, if WB is being responsible).
It's entirely possible that those who are less intimately acquainted with the original versions of these T&J cartoons wouldn't even be aware of the edits in Volumes 1 and 2--and many people may not be bothered by the edits anyway, which is fine. But if you think you got the edited versions and that's NOT what you want, you might see if WB is still running the free replacement program; contact details are in the "Comments" that go along with my review of Volume 3. Also, you need to be aware that the replacement program is ONLY for Volumes 1 and 2--there is NO replacement program from WB to give you the "Mouse Cleaning" and "Casanova Cat" cartoons that were omitted from Volume 3--and there never will be, if WB stays true to what they've stated. (If you're not sure whether you're looking at edited versions or not and would like to know, just Google "Tom Jerry Spotlight Collection"--you won't have any problem finding articles that detail all of the edits.)
I'm not telling anyone to avoid buying these sets. They're great for what they do have in them. But any review that represents this three-volume collection as "uncensored" and "untouched" simply isn't accurate; and I'd prefer that folks have access to ALL of the facts when they're choosing whether or not to lay out their money.

Warner Brothers Home Entertainment Academy Awards Animation Collection - 15 Winners, 26 Nominees (2008) ReviewDon't you just hate it when the description of one of these classic cartoon sets doesn't include a description of the cartoons? In this case, they are really worth mentioning, as some, such as Disc Two's "Peace on Earth," aren't exactly kiddie fare, and many others are true animation classics (I've starred the ones I think best earn that honor). With that in mind, here's a description of each cartoon, written as I watch them:
DISC ONE
Each of these was honored by the Academy as the Best Cartoon of the Year:
1. THE MILKY WAY* (MGM, 1940)
Clear color, great clarity and a nice period song highlight this restored cute classic. When three little kittens lose their mittens, they're sent straight to bed -- where they dream that they sail a hot air balloon up into the Milky Way, a land overflowing with milk geysers and springs. The cartoon was the first Oscar winner that wasn't produced by Disney.
2. YANKEE DOODLE MOUSE* (MGM, 1943)
Typical Tom and Jerry antics doused in patriotic instrumentals such as "Anchors Aweigh" and "Over There." Dynamite, egg grenades and champagne-bottle corks are the weapons of choice. I'll admit I'm not the biggest Tom & Jerry fan, but my 13-year-old daughter loves this one.
3. MOUSE TROUBLE (MGM, 1944)
Tom's the one in trouble as he attempts to rid the house of Jerry, using the ideas in a book called "How to Catch a Mouse (A Random Mouse Book)."
4. QUIET PLEASE* (MGM, 1945)
Even I like this one. In fact, I LOVE this one! Though it's directed by Hanna and Barbera, Tex Avery's jaw-dropping influence is all through it. Funny gags, great character expressions! When a sleepy Spike threatens to kill Tom if the cat doesn't keep quiet ("If I hear one more sound I've gonna skin you alive, get it?"), Jerry tries to make as much noise as he can. Optional audio commentary by animator Mark Kausler highlights the contributions from many former Disney artists.
5. THE CAT CONCERTO* (MGM, 1947)
When Jerry disrupts Tom's grand piano performance of Liszt's Second Hungarian Rhapsody, Tom fights back while never missing a note. Optional audio commentary by animator Eric Goldberg. You know, I'm really starting to get into this Tom & Jerry stuff!
6. TWEETIE PIE* (Warner Bros., 1947)
A cat (here named Thomas, later known as Sylvester) uses a variety of screwball techniques as he tries to catch the little yellow bird in a series of short sketches. Vivid color! The first Sylvester and Tweety cartoon, and the first Warner Bros. short to win an Oscar.
7. THE LITTLE ORPHAN (MGM, 1949)
Tiny mouse Nibbles is always hungry, which causes trouble for Jerry.
8. FOR SCENT-IMENTAL REASONS* (Warner Bros., 1949)
The debut of Pepé Le Pew (my favorite Chuck Jones character), an amorous skunk who mistakes a black female cat for a potential mate. Pepé's influence can be seen in the Disney characters Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast as well as Capt. Jack Sparrow from the Pirates of the Caribbean films. Optional audio commentary by animator Greg Ford.
9. SO MUCH FOR SO LITTLE (Warner Bros., 1949)
This 10-minute animated PSA won the 1949 Oscar for Best Documentary Short. Its point: how federal public-health services can keep babies healthy and free from diseases. Cute, and better than it sounds, though scenes include such things as "untreated sewage running into our pretty creek." Optional audio commentary by animation historian Jerry Beck.
10. THE TWO MOUSEKETEERS (MGM, 1951)
Musketeers Jerry and Nibbles cause trouble for Royal Guard Tom at a king's banquet. Routine.
11. JOHANN MOUSE (MGM, 1952)
Tom learns to play the piano in an effort to catch Jerry, who can't help but dance whenever he hears a Johann Strauss waltz. MGM debuted a new-look Tom with this short, in which he first appears without the grey stripe between his eyes.
12. SPEEDY GONZALES* (Warner Bros., 1955)
They couldn't make this one today! To help his starving friends, the Mexican Don Juan mouse must sneak past makeshift border guard Sylvester and raid a U.S. cheese factory. When one of the friends proclaims "Speedy Gonzales a friend of my sister!" another replies "Speedy Gonzales friend of everybody's sister. Optional music-only audio track.
13. BIRDS ANONYMOUS (Warner Bros., 1957)
Sylvester tries to break his addiction to feathered food by joining Birds Anonymous, but the temptation of Tweety is too much. Includes the first appearance of Sylvester's fellow feline, Sam.
14. KNIGHTY-KNIGHT BUGS (Warner Bros., 1958)
On a quest for a Singing Sword, Bugs Bunny sneaks into the castle of the Black Knight, where he meets a fire-breathing, but sneezing dragon. Song: "Cuddle Up a Little Closer."
15. THE DOT AND THE LINE* (MGM, 1965)
A line loves a dot, but she's hot for a squiggle in this charming, colorful and witty 10-minute Chuck Jones gem. Subtitled "A Romance in Lower Mathematics," it's based on the 1963 book by architect and children's author Norton Juster. Optional audio commentary by Eric Goldberg. Optional music-only audio track.
DISC TWO
1. POPEYE THE SAILOR MEETS SINBAD THE SAILOR* (Paramount /Fleischer, 1936)
When Sinbad (i.e., Bluto) challenges Popeye to a series of battles, the big brute nearly wins until Popeye pulls out his can of spinach. Many scenes use modeled sets to create three-dimensional backgrounds. 16 minutes, color. Optional audio commentary by Jerry Beck, illustrator Leslie Cabarga and animators Ray Pointer and Bob Jaques.
2. PEACE ON EARTH* (MGM, 1939)
A chilling classic. During a post-apocalyptic Christmas Eve, two young squirrels ask their grandfather what the word "men" means in the lyric "Peace on earth, good will to men." As he explains that man was the species that destroyed itself by waging war, the cartoon shows rotoscoped scenes of armed conflict. Optional audio commentary by Greg Ford.
3. A WILD HARE* (Warner Bros., 1940)
The first official Bugs Bunny cartoon looks primitive by later standards, but still has all the ingredients of the rascally rabbit's recipe. When "wabbit" hunter Elmer Fudd sticks his rifle down a hole, up pops Bugs to ask "What's up, Doc?" Optional audio commentary by Greg Ford.
4. PUSS GETS THE BOOT* (MGM, 1940)
Tom is called Jaspar in this early version of a Tom and Jerry short. A typical cat-and-mouse chase results in a number of broken household objects. Optional audio commentary by Mark Kausler.
5. SUPERMAN* (Paramount /Fleischer, 1941)
The classic story of The Man Of Steel as told in a 10-minute animated short, including his early life in rural Kansas. Later, he works with Perry White and Lois Lane at The Daily Planet as Clark Kent, but must change into Superman to save Lois, and the world, from a mad scientist. The first Superman cartoon. Optional audio commentary by producer Paul Dini.
6. HIAWATHA'S RABBIT HUNT (Warner Bros., 1941)
When an Elmer Fudd-like Hiawatha (from the classic Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem The Song of Hiawatha) arrives in the forest hunting rabbits for dinner, Bugs will have none of it.
7. RHAPSODY IN RIVETS* (Warner Bros., 1941)
Ever seen Fantasia 2000's version of "Rhapsody in Blue"? Here's an obvious inspiration. A construction site foreman imagines himself as as conductor of Franz Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody," with his workers as the orchestra.
8. THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS (MGM, 1941)
Tom chases Jerry under and around a Christmas tree until -- holy cats! -- he is touched by the holiday spirit.
9. THE BLITZ WOLF* (MGM, 1942)
When the evil Adolph Wolf wants to invade the state of Pigmania, Sergeant Pork spoils his plans. A wartime take on "The Three Little Pigs." Optional audio commentary by Eric Goldberg.
10. PIGS IN A POLKA* (Warner Bros., 1942)
In a parody of Disney's 1940 film Fantasia, The Big Bad Wolf channels the spirit of Deems Taylor as he introduces a spoof of the Three Little Pigs set to a classical music piece, in this case Brahms' "Hungarian Dances."
11. SWOONER CROONER* (Warner Bros., 1944)
Frank Sinatra, Cab Calloway, Jimmy Durante and Al Jolson are among the crooners caricatured as Porky Pig holds a contest to help his hens lay more eggs. Songs include "As Time Goes By," "Shortenin' Bread," "Lullaby of Broadway" and "You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby."
12. WALKY TALKY HAWKY* (Warner Bros., 1946)
When naive young chicken hawk Henery comes across Foghorn Leghorn, the rooster proclaims "I'm a horse!" and proceeds to convince the little bird that the real chicken is the Barnyard Dog. "Ooh!" says Henery. "That's the biggest chicken I ever did see!" Optional audio commentary by Jerry Beck.
13. DR. JEKYLL AND MR. MOUSE (MGM, 1947)
Every idea backfires when Tom tries to stop Jerry from drinking from a milk bowl.
14. MOUSE WRECKERS (Warner Bros., 1948)
Claude Cat debuts as he battles with hobo mice Hubie and Bertie over a new home.
DISC 3

150 Cartoon Classics ReviewFor the price you really can't complain too much. There are about 2/3 of the set that I rate as good cartoons that I'd watch again. Obviously some real clunkers, like THREE STOOGES, the HOFFNUNG & the MR PIPER ones which don't appeal to me liking the bizarre 1930s ones, fortunately there are lots of those on here! Many are typical public domain quality, the worst one is the wonderful COBWEB HOTEL Fleisher Toon which is rough at the start. Some have extra noise too from worn films. 5 stars for 2/3 being good toons & the price.
There are loads of Popeye (23 of them, almost all the post Fleischer ones), just one Casper & Woody Woodpecker, which may disappoint, but the Woody one is a great early 40s one.
BEWARE buying this set if you own the 100 Cartoon collection (with the dog pen drawing on the front) and the 101 Set (from Australia) as these duplicate most of this set. The 101 set copies 75% of this set in the same order!

Tom and Jerry - Spotlight Collection, Volume 2 (1946) ReviewIt has become something of a full-time job tracking DVDs, not because of the sheer number of discs being released, but because of the editing done to our favorite TV shows, movies, and cartoons on the format. One of the more spectacular examples in recent memory was the first Tom & Jerry Spotlight Collection, which featured 3 edited shorts and was quickly followed up with promises from both Warner Bros. and animation historian Jerry Beck that this error would be rectified.
Fast forward a year, and Volume 2 is announced with renewed claims that the shorts contained are uncut. While some of the shorts featuring the now-controversial character Mammy Two-Shoes have the original voice (which belies a reference to Hattie McDaniel of Gone With the Wind fame), others feature the redubbed "politically correct" voice that Turner created in the '90s. The bottom line here is that Warner Bros.' (or at least their children's video division) can't be trusted to produce an uncut DVD set (or even a restored set, as most of the prints here are the same ones seen on Cartoon Network and Boomerang), much less to be honest with their intentions. Of course, with a growing list of edited, time-compressed, and music-replaced cartoons on DVD, the average viewer quickly gets the idea that most studios view classic animation as disposable entertainment not worthy of a correct, well cared for release. And until we stop buying such shoddily-produced DVDs, that view will continue to prevail.Tom and Jerry - Spotlight Collection, Volume 2 (1946) OverviewTrends come and go; but the chase is eternal, just like the evergreen appeal of animaton's supreme cat-and- mouse team! This second Spotlight Collection of Tom and Jerry's cartoon capers boasts 40 restored and remastered shorts (including their screen debut Puss Gets the Boot, in which Tom was called Japser). This delicious assortment covers their golden years - including three Academy Award nominees* and six in their rarely seen widescreen CinemaScope - and includes spiffy, character-profiling Special Features. Get ready to duck, weave, jump and laugh and the hapless feline and the wily rodent take each other on.DVD Features:Audio Commentary:Audio Commentaries: Commentary on Saturday Evening Puss, Puss N' Boots, The Night Before Christmas, and Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Mouse by Madtv's Nicole Parker and Animation Historian Earl Kress.

Looney Tunes: Spotlight Collection, Volume One (The Premiere Edition) (1955) ReviewDisc One:
"Elmer's Candid Camera" (1940)--Elmer Fudd's out to shoot a wabbit--this time, with a camera. Unluckily for him, his subject is Bugs Bunny.
"Bugs Bunny and the Three Bears" (1944)--Goldilocks is nowhere to be found, but the Three Bears think Bugs is just right--to eat. Bugs, however, has other plans for the hapless trio.
"Fast and Furry-ous" (1949)--Accelerati Incredibulis meets Carnivarious Vulgaris on a desert highway. Carnivarious Vulgaris attempts to capture Accelerati Incredibulis. Final Score: Accelerati 1, Carnivarious 0, despite the latter's use of several fine Acme products.
"Hair-Raising Hare" (1946)--Bugs finds that monsters really do live such in-teresting lives.
"The Awful Orphan" (1949)--In this precursor to Single White Female, a persistent mutt shows Porky why dogs are man's best friend. Problem is, Porky's a pig.
"Haredevil Hare" (1948)--Decades before Neil Armstrong went to the Moon, a brave rabbit made one giant hop for mankind. Unfortunately, Marvin the Martian was waiting for him, with an Aludium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator.
"For Scent-imental Reasons" (1949)--This Oscar-winning short has "ze locksmith of love," Pepe LePew, pursuing a reluctant pussycat. "Do not come wiz me to ze Casbah," Pepe tells her. "We shall make beautiful musicks togezzer right here!" Pussycat is unimpressed.
"Frigid Hare" (1949)--Bugs takes a wrong turn at Albuquerque and winds up at the South Pole, pursued by an Eskimo. (Since there are no Eskimos at the South Pole, Bugs really made a wrong turn.) Bugs whips out the lipstick, and transsexual antics ensue.
"The Hypo-Chondri-Cat" (1950)--Hubie and Bertie the mice force Claude the hypochondriac cat to confront his inner demons--and angels.
"Baton Bunny" (1959)--Warner Brothers Symphony guest conductor Bugs Bunny conducts "Morning, Noon, and Night in Vienna" by Franz Von Suppe to an overly appreciative insectile audience.
"Feed the Kitty" (1952)--In what may be the greatest Looney Tunes cartoon ever made, ferocious bulldog Marc Anthony is reduced to a big ol' softie by a cute kitten. (The gut-wrenching "cookie" scene was later paid homage in Monsters, Inc.)
"Don't Give Up the Sheep" (1953)--Neither wind nor rain nor Wile E. Coyote look-a-like Ralph the Wolf shall keep dutiful employee Sam Sheepdog from protecting his flock.
"Bugs Bunny Gets the Boid" (1942)--Bugs is targeted for carrion-ization by a family of buzzards.
"Tortoise Wins By a Hare" (1943)--In one of the rare instances in which Bugs loses, Cecil, the Lance Armstrong of racing tortoises, keeps outracing Bugs, who resorts to dressing up as an old man to pry Cecil's secrets out of his shell. The secret? "Streamlining."
Disc Two:
"Canary Row" (1950)--Tweety Bird suspects he may have spotted a feline. This suspicion is shortly (and repeatedly) confirmed, prompting Tweety to declare that he did, in fact, see a putty-tat.
"Bunker Hill Bunny" (1950)--In this gripping account of one of the Revolutionary War's lesser-known battles, Bugs Bunny defends Fort Bagel Heights against "Hessian oppression" in the form of Yosemite Sam. True to historical record, Sam is soon rendered a "Hessian without no aggression," prompting him to join forces with his erstwhile enemy.
"Kit For Cat" (1948)--On a frigid evening, homeless tomcat Sylvester finds refuge with mansion-and-yacht owner Elmer Fudd. Unfortunately, a cute orange kitty also seeks shelter in the Fudd residence. There can be only one.
"Putty Tat Trouble" (1951)--One white Chwistmas, a hungry orange feline intrudes upon Sylvester and Tweety's twisted co-dependent relationship.
"Bugs and Thugs" (1954)--When pampered urbanite Bugs Bunny gets mixed up with criminal masterminds Rocky and Mugsy, the talkative rabbit is forced, not only to shut up, but to "shut up shuttin' up."
"Canned Feud" (1951)--If Alfred Hitchcock directed a cartoon version of Home Alone, it might look something like this. Sylvester, left behind in a house full of canned food and no can opener, inexorably descends into madness and horror, aided by a sadistic mouse.
"Lumber Jerks" (1955)--The ambiguously gay gopher duo go looking for their missing tree. What they find instead is some fabulous home furnishings.
"Speedy Gonzalez" (1955)--The fastest mouse in all Mexico makes his debut in this Oscar-winning short, a class warfare allegory in which cheese factory owner-slash-capitalist oppressor Sylvester tries to keep the working mouse down.
"Tweety's S.O.S." (1951)--Tweety once again sees a bad ol' putty-tat, this time on a cruise ship. The result? Pain, exciting and new.
"The Foghorn Leghorn" (1948)--Henery the rising young chicken hawk is determined to bag himself a chicken--even if it is a loudmouthed Schnook.
"Daffy Duck Hunt" (1949)--A mentally unstable Daffy Duck power-dives his way into duck hunter Porky Pig's life, driving a wedge between him and his dog, and spraying them both with copious amounts of thpittle in the process.
"Early to Bet" (1951)--The Gambling Bug gets more than he bargained for when he nibbles on a cat, and stumbles into a weird sadomasochistic relationship between cat and bulldog involving gin rummy and a Penalty Wheel. David Lynch couldn't come up with material this kinky.
"Broken Leghorn" (1959)--Proving that no good deed goes unpunished, Foghorn Leghorn slips childless old Prissy Hen a fertile egg--inadvertently laying the seeds of his own destruction when the egg hatches his successor.
"Devil May Hare" (1954)--In his first appearance, the Tasmanian Devil is on the loose--with an appetite for tigers, lions, elephants, buffaloes, donkeys, giraffes, octopuses, rhinoceroses, moose, ducks...and rabbits. A nonplussed Bugs proceeds to bury Taz in the cold, cold ground.

Looney Tunes - Golden Collection (2003) ReviewFor those of you who have a favorite Director you may have found categorization by character quite frustrating. Personally I don't care for a whole disc of Bugs, or a whole disc of Daffy; I want a whole disc of Chuck or a whole disc of Friz. Even the fine episode lists above, which really do hold all the information you need, are not organized according to how the episodes appear on the discs in the collection. To remedy this problem I have the following list to provide you with the episodes, organized in the order they appear on the discs, and who directed them. I hope this proves useful to someone, and will save them from having to do this all over again themselves.
Volume One: Disc One
1.Baseball Bugs (Friz Freleng)
2.Rabbit Seasoning (Chuck Jones)
3.Long-Haired Hare (Chuck Jones)
4.High Diving Hare (Friz Freleng)
